Outstanding fundamental defense. When he wants to be, he can be a great defender. He just doesn't consistently have the energy to do it all the time.

Wade was SHOOK out there. The Masked Mamba ripped his heart out and showed it to him.

Yea, he wasn't ready for that effort. Wade also made numerous mistakes when Kobe was playing him for the jumper, Wade being infactuated as he is with drawing fouls instead of getting buckets ... messed up his own game instead of just pulling the trigger on the jumper, kept trying to get Kobe in foul trouble with the classic "let me jump into you when you're in the air and I get two free throws" maneuver that has become so popular in the modern NBA.
Which begs two questions. If he kept doing this ... and was more concerned with getting Kobe in foul trouble than taking what the defense was begging him to do ... Kobe's d must have been seriously in his mind, and must have been really annoying his game.
Which plays into the "psychology of sports" ... something LeBron fans don't understand.

Everyone knows that Kobe's man defense is still some of the best, it's just that he doesn't have the energy to do it consistently enough to still be one of the NBA's top defenders. He can't do that and carry his teams offense at this age anymore.
Amazing defense on Wade, wasn't falling for Wade's fakes and the one he did he avoided the foul and forced Wade into a useless pass to avoid the travel.

Kobe was a great perimeter defender in his prime, he just doesn't do this all the time. The Masked Mamba definitely got his payback.

Wade commits a disgusting travel in the first play. He first establishes his left foot as pivot, then shuffles it way before he puts the ball on the floor. He and Lebron always get away with shit like that.

That was great defense.... And some of those shot Wade was def shook.
I looked online and didn't realize Kobe and Wade have a 4 year difference... Why did I always think it was like 6-7 years.
They practically are the same generation

Very good NBA starter
Re: GIF: Kobe Bryant's defense on Dwyane Wade & Lebron James!
If you're going to post the plays when Kobe went for the strip and succeeded, why didn't you post the plays where he went for the strip and failed giving Wade a free path to the basket?
Kobe's one on one D is good, but not near the top of the NBA.
